Well-planned vegetarian diets lower gout risk and serum uric acid, though unhealthy versions with sweets increase risk.
Good
A well-planned vegetarian diet reduces gout risk by lowering uric acid through plant-based purines, dairy, and limited alcohol. Fresh fruits are safe in normal portions.
Bad
Unhealthy vegetarian diets with refined grains, sugary drinks, or fruit juices raise uric acid and gout risk. Avoid these even when avoiding meat.
